Hold'em table

7-4 offsuit is a weak button hand; folding avoids entering a multiway pot with poor equity.

A7s is well ahead of a random hand in a blind-vs-blind spot. Raising to 3bb applies pressure and takes the initiative.

J4 offsuit is marginal, but getting 2-to-1 against a small-blind raise and playing in position makes defending the big blind reasonable.

Top pair with a weak kicker on a board where I hold the range advantage, out of position. A small one-third-pot c-bet gets value from worse aces, Jx and diamond draws while keeping the pot manageable.

Middle pair is strong enough to continue against a small flop bet, especially with position. Raising would inflate the pot with a weak kicker.

Top two pair is still strong on a board that now shows three diamonds. A medium bet gets value from Ax, Jx and single-diamond hands, while keeping the pot controlled if a flush has come in.

Middle pair can still beat bluffs and draws after the small flop bet. Calling keeps the pot manageable while I reassess on the river.

A7 two pair is vulnerable on this three-diamond board with the queen landing, and the caller's range includes flushes, AQ and AJ. Checking controls the pot and keeps bluff-catching options open.

Middle pair with a weak kicker has showdown value, but a river bet is unlikely to get called by many worse hands. Checking avoids putting more chips in against aces, queens, flushes, and straights.

On the button in 3-handed play, 75s is a standard open; raising to 2.5bb puts pressure on the blinds and keeps position.

J-2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against a button raise, especially with the big blind still to act.

Q7 offsuit is too weak to defend against a button raise at this size, especially out of position.

T4 offsuit is too weak to open profitably from the button against two unknown players.

9-2 offsuit is too weak to defend from the small blind against the big blind at this stack depth.

Button open with suited? Ac5s is a playable ace in a three-handed game; raising applies pressure and can win the blinds while retaining positional advantage.

96o in the small blind facing a button open is too weak to call out of position with the big blind still to act, so folding is standard.

The small blind's dead money improves the price, making T5o a marginal but reasonable big-blind defense against a button open.

I have no pair or diamond draw on this flop. Checking avoids building a pot out of position with a weak hand.

A small continuation bet applies pressure to unpaired overcards and weaker ace-high hands while risking little on this paired board.

T-high has no diamond or meaningful draw on this paired board. Calling out of position against the preflop raiser is unlikely to be profitable.

T9o on the button in 3-handed play is a clear open; a standard 2.5x raise puts pressure on the blinds.

J5 suited is too weak to call a button raise from the small blind with the big blind still to act, and it is not a strong enough candidate to three-bet here.

Pocket fours are ahead of a wide button opening range and play well as a value/protection 3-bet heads-up. Raising to 900 applies pressure while preserving maneuverability at 100bb.

T9o in position against a wide 3-handed big-blind 3-bet, with 100bb stacks, has enough playability and implied odds to call 650 into 1850. Folding would be too tight, and 4-bet bluffing with it is unnecessary.

With a small underpair on an ace-high flop in a 3-bet pot, checking preserves showdown value and avoids inflating the pot against stronger hands.

Middle pair on an ace-high, flush-draw board facing a 3-bet range that checked; checking back keeps the pot small and gives us showdown value and pot control.

With a low pair in a three-bet pot, checking preserves showdown value and avoids being forced to continue against the caller's stronger range. The flop check-back leaves some weaker hands available, so a free river is valuable.

A middle pair with showdown value against a 3-bettor who has checked twice. Betting would mostly get called by better hands like JJ-KK, so I'll check back and see the river.

A modest river bluff credibly represents the ace-heavy range from my preflop 3-bet and can fold out middle pocket pairs that currently beat my fours. Villain's double check leaves many such capped hands.

Small river bet offers about 21% pot odds. After the opponent checked the ace-high flop and turn, their range includes blocking bets and missed hands, so bluff-catching with a pair of tens is profitable enough.

Q8 suited is strong enough to open on the button three-handed, and a 2.5 big blind raise keeps the pot manageable in position.

Pocket threes are worth defending in the small blind against a button min-raise with deep stacks, aiming to set-mine and retain postflop flexibility.

62o plays poorly out of position in a multiway pot, and its weak realization outweighs the 4:1 price. Folding is standard.

Checking keeps the pot controlled with a marginal pair on a paired board and allows the preflop raiser to reveal their flop strategy.

Top pair with a queen kicker is worth a small value bet against weaker pairs and overcards. Betting 200 also protects against free turn cards without building an oversized pot on a paired board.

The small flop bet can be a broad continuation range, and pocket threes retain showdown value while getting a favorable price. Calling keeps weaker overcards and bluffs in.

I have a full house on this paired board and should value bet against overpairs, eights, and bluff-catchers. A substantial sizing builds the pot while retaining calls from worse made hands.

My full house is strong enough to continue, but raising risks isolating against a five or a higher full house. Calling keeps weaker hands and bluffs in.

Our full house is vulnerable to any 8 or higher pocket pair on this paired board, and the turn call leaves many stronger holdings in range. Checking realizes showdown value without risking a thin value bet.

I have a full house, and a small river bet can get called by weaker pocket pairs. If raised, I can reassess against a range weighted toward stronger full houses or quads.

Although this is a full house, any 8 makes a higher full house and any 5 makes quads. The turn call and river value bet on this texture are heavily weighted toward those stronger holdings.
